The Library is always looking for area organizations
and businesses to help sponsor our Library events, by some form of donation. Our idea
here is that if you put into the community you will get back from the community. Please contact us if you can help. We always
need flyers printed, or donations of time or funds. We are a grassroots organization and we depend on the dedication
and generosity of our Sponsors, Donors and Volunteers. Can't think of something YOU can offer? Please
call us and we will sure think of something you can do!
